We will be watching CNN most of the night and hope for the best:) There are also lots of propositions to vote for today, in the past months there have been lots of advertising on TV and signs have been put up a bit here and there along the roads, "vote yes on prp 38" etc.
These are some of them in California:
Prop 38: Molly Munger's Tax Proposal
Prop 38 would raise the income tax rate on most Californians to help pay
for schools and pay down the state's hefty education bond debt.
Prop 37: Genetically Modified Foods
Supporters want to label food that contains genetically engineered
material to give consumers more knowledge and choices about what they
eat.
Prop 36: Three Strikes Law
Prop 36 would amend California's Three Strikes Law to shorten the sentencing for some nonviolent offenders.
Prop 35: Human Trafficking/Sex Offender
Prop 35 would introduce much stiffer penalties for convicted sex and
labor traffickers, in addition to expanding the definition of human
trafficking.
Prop 34: Death Penalty Repeal
Say goodbye to the Death Penalty in California if this proposition gets a majority yes-vote from voters.
Prop 30: Jerry Brown's Tax Proposal
Gov. Jerry Brown's tax measure would temporarily increase taxes for the
richest Californians to help close the budget gap, with money for
schools and local public safety programs.
I wonder how many take their time to vote on these?
Exciting exciting, it looks like it will turn out to be very very even.

Det kommer nog att bli ännu dyrare här i Kalifornien eftersom de federala skatterna - förutom möjliga höjningar här i Kalifornien - kommer att gå upp för alla under nästa år. De tidigare skattelättnaderna kommer tydligen att försvinna. Kanske dags att börja leta efter en annan stat som är litet billigare. :)
Ja, man kan ju tycka att skatten här är hög nog, särskilt när man inte får så mycket i gengäld.
Ändå är det svårt att se hur man annars ska ska komma sig ur den här krisen i staten utan att höja något.
